Help Me!

Ok ok, take it easy. There is a lot of help information available when you log in regarding your account and lists. What I have below is some general information, frequently asked questions, and the command table that you use when accessing your lists from your cell phone.

How do I get started?


  1. Go here.
  2. Create a Username and Password.
  3. Type the characters you see within the little image into the box below it (make sure you use all capital letters!). i.e. U3JGR
  4. Push Enter or click the "Create" button. If your Username isn't already taken, you'll be able to go inside and start setting things up.

What are the commands?

 Get a list of commands sent to my phone.  help  help

**The listname only needs to be entered in the text message if you want a list that is not your DEFAULT.

Is my information safe?


I have added a lot of security in hopes of being able to better protect your personal information. Your stored passwords and login information are encrypted using SHA1 Encryption (very secure) with Perl and PHP. This means your password is not sent in plain text and not even I can see your password! I will NEVER intentionally disclose any of your information without your permission

What if I lose my password?


A temporary password will be created for you if you enter your username and click "Forgot My Password" in the Login page. This temporary password will be sent to the Lost Password Email(s) you have saved in your account. If you don't have a Lost Password Email saved, it will be sent to the Address(es) you have set up for your lists. When you login with the temporary password, you can then change it to something you won't forget.

Do you have a mailing list?


I do. Periodically, I will send out information about changes and additions to List2Text. You can join the list by signing into your account and adding yourself to the list from within the Settings page or sending an email to addtolist at list2text dot com with your Username as the Subject. You can also remove yourself from the mailing list in the same menu or by emailing from the account you want to remove to delfromlist at list2text dot com with your Username as the Subject.

I still need more help.


If you looked at the help information inside your account and still have questions, feel free to shoot me an email at admin at list2text dot com. You can also go the Contact section and fill out the question/comment/suggestion/bug form and submit it.
